Make sure to spend some time looking at the conference schedule of events. Plan for which Hospitality Suites, Networking Sessions, and other events you would like to attend. In addition, look at the list of companies and graduate schools that will be at the Career Fair so you can begin to create a list of the ones you would like to speak to the most.

While the goal for all conference attendees is to look professional, the attire they choose can vary greatly.  If you are looking for that internship or job, take a look at these examples of how you can dress for the career fair/interview.

Make sure your resume is well-polished. Make any updates and improvements as well as have an advisors, faculty, career counselor or trusted friend help edit your resume into the proper format.

Following your resume update, spend time composing a 1-2 sentence elevator pitch that succinctly tells who you are and your career aspirations. Practice your speech and be confident when you speak to a company representative.
